College application intro.

On a clear, but chilly Saturday morning in February, I step outside on the plateau to await the 9:43 train that will take me from New Haven to Grand Central Station. As the minutes tick by, more people gather about the platform, waiting for the doors of the train to open up. When they finally do, I step inside, feeling as if I’m on my way towards an exciting future. After an anxious one hour and forty-five minute ride, the train pulls into a dark tunnel, signaling we have arrived at Grand Central Station. Stepping off the train, I weave my way around hoards of people, some milling around, others making their way towards the exit to the chaotic streets of New York City.

I started this off as a story, because the essay topic had to be what experiences have i had that would relate to my chosen major at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

This was a very good intro. It was very descriptive and made me want to read more. I think that you should just worked on the end of the intor alittle.Maybe to let the reader know what is going to take place because you do not really no the topice that you are writing about.

Good Descriptive words about the train station. Tell the reader why you are going to New York on the train. What is going to happen there?
